BORROWED TROUBLE by Shaen Layle, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise

Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm Book 15

PAULA'S REVIEW:
I love these cozy mysteries set in England. Veterinarian Harriet inherited her grandfather’s practice in White Church Bay. She is marrying Pastor Will and they will go on their honeymoon to Scotland. But an heirloom brooch goes missing during the reception and that puts honeymoon plans on hold while they try to discover why it and other items went missing.

The contemporary story is interspersed with a tale of the original owners from the 1800s. That had a bit of intrigue too.

Lots of false starts when possible suspects are ruled out and a surprise when the real culprit is found.

I liked the community and family aspect of the story, down to a niece and nephew and their antics. Harriet and Will make a lovely couple and their faith was evident as they pray for the brooch to be found and in how they have a heart to serve their community.
*A complimentary copy of this book was provided by Guideposts on behalf of the author. I was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are mine alone.* 4 stars and a solid faith thread 

 
BackCover Blurb:
Borrowed Trouble is the fifteen book in the Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm fiction series.

The wedding of Harriet Bailey and Will Knight has finally arrived. Friends and family of the bride and groom have gathered, and the celebration couldn’t be more perfect—until the power goes out during the reception. When the lights come back on, Harriet’s family heirloom is missing! Could one of their friends really have taken such a special item?

Determined to prove that couldn’t be true, Harriet and Will pause their honeymoon plans to search for the missing antique brooch. As they interview witnesses and possible suspects, they realize there is more history to the jewelry than they ever imagined. And what happens when other valuable items disappear? Harriet and Will must map out the truth before their honeymoon road trip takes another detour.
